Excellent food and good drinks at this bar. We went for lunch after getting off the ferry and sat at the bar. Fried shrimp basket was super fresh and very delicious. The Tandoori chicken sandwich was exceptional.

View is awesome! Service was really good too! Food came out super quick and was pretty good! I got the chicken tacos & my husband got the fish tacos and we both enjoyed our meal! Not the best fish tacos we've had on the island but probably the second best! The drink was so good with the fresh banana in it!

We stopped in to the acclaimed Beach Bar on New Year's Day. The Beach Bar has a great reputation for its food and live music. We'd watched it from their live feed while back in the States. It's a colorful, fun, high energy place. It was super crowded, and we ended up ordering conch fritters, picking up a couple drinks at the bar, then sitting at the tables on the beach, and we were told our order would come to us. After a 20-minute wait, I went up to check on our order. About 10 minutes later, it arrived. Despite the long wait, the fritters were crispy and delicious. We probably would have ordered more drinks, except for that long wait! But we'll definitely go back on our next visit, and hopefully, it won't be so busy. After all, it WAS New Year's Day!

Can't complete a trip to STJ without hitting the beach bar. After a day in the BVI's we finished our day off with drinks and tacos and the beach bar. Seating was scarce but we managed to find a spot closer to the inside bar, but still looking out over the water. Our server was a bit surly but she sure was hustling as it was quite busy...Sunday and lots around to watch the game. We ordered 2 orders of fish tacos do split between the two of us and some conch fritters and of course drinks. I ordered a lemonade which honestly just tasted like a splash of lemon in some ice water. Tacos and fritters were good. The Beach Bar is best for drinks and ambiance! Definitely a must do in STJ!

Very nice and chill spot on the island. Nachos were delicious and came with a lot of great toppings (it wasn't just cheese). My main entree was the Flying Shrimp basket which came with fried shrimp with buffalo sauce and French fries. I would pass on the sauce next time just because it had a strong vinegar taste. The drinks here were delicious. Served in a small plastic cup but very tasty. I appreciated how attentive and friendly the staff was!

In the hierarchy of places you aren't allowed to be angry, beach bars land just behind swim-up bars up near the top of the list. Because they have alcohol, and chairs on the sand where you can go drink it. When you have these things, that means life is good. This Beach Bar isn't winning any creativity awards for its name, but it does have great live music, rum punch that is only a little too sweet, cold beer, and surprisingly excellent food. About that: 1. Tuna. Bites. This is a thin snake of seared, blackened tuna that is served with a delightful wasabi crema. It is my favorite thing I ate here, and perhaps my favorite thing I ate on the entire island. I will come back just for drinks and these, and I sincerely appreciate the blackened spices being just hot enough that my kid won't eat it. More for me. 2. Reuben spring rolls. Just an excellent rendition of this bar favorite. You can't go wrong, unless you don't like reubens, in which case why are you bothering me about this? 3. Everything else. They fry things well here (chicken fingers, fish and chips, shrimp. The salad was large and tasty, the grilled mahi sandwich hits the spot, and the quality across the board makes me believe everything I haven't had is delicious as well. Good food, good drinks, and cornhole, Giant Connect Four, and a beach for my kids to play on...I actually love this place. If masochism is your thing, they also operate a Beach Bar Cam online that you can check out when you're at home in your sad, non-island home. You know, so you can see all the carefree fun everyone else is having as you slave away at your miserable job until you can afford to take another trip to St. John.
